I made this arrangement July 17th, 2019 at World’s End Farm. I was on a flower residency with Sarah Ryhanen. Looking back I see how transformative that experience was, for multiple reasons, and I imagine she will be featured in this newsletter with some regularity. Today I want to discuss one lesson that I learned from her that continues to shape how I think about many forms of artistic creation.

A few days ago Marc and I were about to climb into the wood burning hot tub at the back of the garden when I noticed one outlier amongst the morning glories: a huge white moon flower!

A friend of mine showed up last summer with two seed packets - morning glories and night-blooming moonflower.

Amaranth is a spectacular vision of early Autumn. The color is vibrant, the texture whimsical.
